Llanos Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: No
Exploration Method: Regional subsurface geology and seismic mapping followed by a core-drill program located the discovery well, the Llanos 1 in 6S-37W-10. This discovery well was one of several stratigraphic tests drilled in northwestern Kansas by Phillips Petroleum Company.
Drilling Casing Practices: Llanos 3 was a dual completion in one zone in the Lansing - Kansas City groups and two zones in the Marmaton group. The Hartley 'A' 1 and the Hartley 'A' 2 in section 3 were dually completed in the Lansing - Kansas City and Marmaton groups. Normal completion procedure is to set pipe below the Cherokee group, usually in the Mississippian, plug back, perforate porous intervals, and acidized. Fracturing is not necessary. In the average well, 370 feet of surface casing was set.
Comments: Productive area was cited from the 1959 Kansas Oil and Gas Fields report. At that time the field development was not yet complete. There are 10 productive zones in the Llanos field, but not all zones produce in all wells. The zone thicknesses range from 2 to 16 feet, averaging 6 feet. Water production: Three of the first seven wells in Llanos Field were initially completed water-free. Later, all wells were producing some water. Llanos 5 in secion 10 was completed as a dry hole that was converted to a salt water disposal well with a maximum injection rate of 4,032 barrels of water per day into the Mississippian. Limits of water-free oil production are controlled by structure, but numerous productive zones complicate delineation of accurate oil-water contacts. Initially the structurally highest well, Llanos 1, encountered water-free production from the Lansing-Kansas City, Marmaton and Cherokee reservoirs. Llanos 5, the structurally lowest well in the field, indicated these reservoirs were water-bearing.

LANS.-K.C.
(Lansing - Kansas City Supergroup)


Depth Top: 4439 feet
Formation Lithology: Cream to gray, dense, cherty limestones and buff, fine granular, dolomitic limestone with vuggy, pinpoint, and rare oolicastic porosity.
Trap Type: The field is on the north flank of the Dodge City Basin. An anticline with approximately 25 feet of closure on the Lansing group provides entrapment in the Lansing-Kansas City, Marmaton and Cherokee reservoirs. In 1959 when the Kansas Oil and Gas Fields report was written, the Llanos Field development was not complete.
